In an effort to isolate and grow strains of microorganisms that are representative of the major marine microbial groups typical of surface seawater of the largest ecosystem on our planet, the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, ...

The traditional approximation neglects the horizontal component of the Coriolis, which has its justification in a scaling argument. However, this leaves the effect of the neglected terms unquantified. This paper takes a ...

The distribution of mesopelagic micronekton (small fish, crustaceans and cephalopods) is not uniform throughout the oceans. Seamounts are a feature that can possibly influence the abundance, biomass, diversity and taxonomic ...

Physiological damage to macroalgae from both UVA (320-400 nm) and UVB (280-320 nm) radiation is well documented in the scientific literature. Due to the occurrence of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) in marine algae ...

TIlis study, covering a period of eight months, was undertaken
to determine if measurable changes in characteristics occur in sea water passing over a shallow coral reef. The parameters studied
include salinity, temperature, ...

The euphotic zone of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) is nutrient-poor and supports relatively low standing stocks of planktonic organisms. Data collected as part of the Hawaii Ocean Time series (HOT) program ...

Methane and the processes controlling its distribution along the western Mexican margin were investigated in November 2001. Water column and sediment core samples were collected from 14 stations along the margin, in and ...

Extension of atmospheric C02 records to more ancient times through the development of a geological proxy for C02 is a major objective of paleoclimate studies. A promising C02 proxy has been carbon isotopic analysis of ...

Temporal and depth variability in rates of dinitrogen (N2) fixation at Stn. ALOHA, an oligotrophic site in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG), were assessed with direct measurements and using an isotope mass balance ...

Relationships between nutrient-uptake and net carbon production are variable on reefs. Nutrient-uptake appears to be governed by diffusion of nutrients through nutrient-depleted boundary layers near the surfaces of autotrophs. ...

While the physical forcing mechanisms that govern the outflows of major rivers throughout the world are well documented in the literature, comparably less research has been done to examine the mechanisms that govern the ...

Population connectivity plays significant roles on both evolutionary and ecological time-scales, however efforts at constraining the magnitude and pattern of demographic exchange between populations of marine organisms has ...
